Bat world to remain closed The owners of Bat World, a popular tourist attraction in Wuhan, China, have announced they plan to remain closed for a few more months. "This not good time for people come see bats," explained an official. Also staying closed for the time being, the Museum of Chinese Medi...

On this subject of "blown out of proportion" there are interesting statistics floating around out there. These seem to indicate that despite the obviously significant impact of COVID-19 at least in some localized areas and especially among the elderly with compromised immune systems, the overall dea...

Our media are making a big deal out of this, but in actual fact there has always been a lot of surveillance of the border between official crossings. The media of course are mostly in eastern Canada where the only border crossings are either bridges or well known locations including a few illegal on...

On another site, somebody who calls themselves a small-c conservative figures that a solution will be to confiscate 80% of the wealth of people who are worth more than half a million. I'm guessing he's worth about $490,000.

Won't they have to violate the social distance to make an arrest? My feeling is this is some kind of mass hysteria that jumped over from the Greta Thunberg style of climate alarmism, nobody bought into it so elites figure they will enforce their angst under the cover of this apparently medium-sized ...

Well, Italy had established some direct trade relations with China and not just there but with Hubei province where Wuhan is located. Up until the outbreak began, there was a lot of direct travel back and forth between northern Italy and Wuhan. So unfortunately their result is worse than anywhere el...

I agree that it has been treated as a more dangerous threat than the reality suggests and that in past winters we have had flu outbreaks that took considerable numbers of lives in a similar way, without these economic and social consequences. However, I am also suspicious that our governments have i...

Well there was 1918, I guess that was more to do with soldiers returning from the war than anything else. If we get something on that scale, where a hundred million died (when the global population was maybe 2 billion), this will get very serious. So far it is somewhere between serious and meh. No s...

Things will be back to normal by about May, June at the latest. I imagine they won't decide about the Tokyo Olympics until maybe May 15th. Touch or go on that. NHL already cancelled, so is March madness, and pro golf playing without fans allowed into the courses for at least a month (if they don't c...

I thought Jimmy the Greek was an oddsmaker in Vegas.

PeterODonnell

We are not able to see the intel that our governments no doubt have about this, and a lot of clues might suggest this is no accident, but some kind of 21st century warfare going on. The timing is very suspicious, don't you think? On several different levels, this puts Trump's re-election in jeopardy...

"Nobody told me that forcing women to have sex was rape" claims famous guy

Tom Hanks sneezed, bring out your dead Concern and a sense of near panic spread rapidly around the world upon the news that Tom Hanks sneezed and his wife has a sniffle. "We're all going to die," said the president of Italy, for the seventh time today. "This is like Vesuvius only worse, maybe so ba...

Democrats down to three possible big losers to Trump In the race to become the 2020 version of Walter Mondale or Michael Dukakis, there are only three men left standing, and one is standing so far left that he may not get back inside for quite a while. Let's review the chances of these three men. J...

In Canada, I think you should throw a toque in the ring, not a hat.

Just sayin ...

We live in rather strange times. A guy running for president has a dude for a wife, and his biggest "scandal" is that he came up with a cheat sheet. Hmm.

PeterODonnell

Part of the problem is this rather crazy paradigm of "nation to nation" relations that we seek to have with first nations communities. In legal terms, a first nation is essentially a municipality. They should have no standing as a nation, the imbalances are obvious and I think even a lot of native p...

These are people who think there was some agreement made years ago that they are above the law, actually no agreement was ever made, it's more like law enforcement are chicken to roll the dice. Things like Diana's execution (some say accident) have a chilling effect on people who realize how little ...

It would be a cat-astrophe if some of these other parties ever got into government. So having a cat as leader might make sense.

PeterODonnell

I guess the future course of action needs to be building a strong alternative (in the PPC would be the first choice but mindful of the potential for that too to become compromised), and then ensuring that the strong alternative remains free from the usual inevitable erosion through co-opting from ou...

Oval baloneyvirus spreads amidst fears of a day in bed Authorities in Puke-gut province of central China say "everyone sick here, go away foreign devils." The Oval Baloneyvirus has now spread to 24 billion cases including dogs, cats and pandas. Symptoms include making sense of global warming, a des...

Breaking News -- Truman loses Iowa The results are not in, but that has not prevented various Democrats from claiming victory in the Iowa thingies. "I am not surprised to be a winner," said Pete Buttgig, "caucus is word I can relate to." "I am probably the winner," averred Communist Bernie Sanders,...

Of course they don't have to outsource being a party mainly catering to lawyers and civil servants.

PeterODonnell

The party should be more mindful of the real need for change in outlook, the top-down approach has never worked that well over many years and things need to be shaken up, otherwise it will just be same old same old, a bend-over form of conservatism that is just a prop for endless Liberal governments...

It will be necessary to make up that lost day of indoctrination. A whole day without angst over climate change, students marked for life.

Romney says he may run for President in 2024. He's counting on all 400 of the electoral college votes of Planet Kolob. Yee-haw.

PeterODonnell

"This is the worst thing a president ever did, he called a foreign leader and asked him to help assemble proof that we are lying, cheating vermin." Okay. Tell us more. Are you saying umm you're not, or you are? What's the foreign leader saying? Oh and the denied military assistance, so that is why y...

PeterODonnell

My reaction is mostly amusement. Trump is playing these idiots big time. Their "impeachment" is going to become a self-inflicted wound taking down Joe Biden and the impeachment leaders, and making Romney look like a giant tool. They had their chance and presented a case that was so dull that even CN...

What does earth have to do with it?

Yeah, nothing like the last government, they do it directly instead of outsourcing.

A PPC without Max would be a pretty steep hill to climb, most of us who joined have no large amounts of money or influential friends and we are usually residents of smaller places or rural Canada. I wouldn't say it would be totally impossible to build a party without Max there, but as to whether he ...

Pride parades are important alright, the squirt gun industry would collapse without them.

He has some political strengths, undeniably, but they don't do much for me either. I think for every disaffected Liberal he brings into the big tent, two other members will slip out the back door and join the PPC. I have an image of him being like a bat in a dark cave for the past five years, one da...
